August 31st [1957]
dictated
Dear Rutland,
Alas – I am still in hospital – I shall be out again soon.1 And I feel very well: but the doctor will not allow me to go to Worcester.2 It would have given us both such pleasure to meet you and Kathleen again – we must hope for some time when you are in London.
Yrs
Ralph
PS. Ralph has made a splendid recovery, and after a few weeks quiet at home, convalescing, he will be about 200% ++. He’s been able to work in hospital, which has made it less tedious for him.
Ursula.
1. VW had had a cancerous prostate removed.
